Novel Fundrasing Ideas

    Hi everyone,

    I’m organising a Halloween party in our local pub on Halloween night for a local Charity.

    I want to raise as much as possible but I want to make it as novel and interesting as possible.

    The run of the mill raffle has been done a million times and in the current state of people’s finances many tend not to bother buying tickets.

    I know if I could put a spin on the raffle concept it would be a success.

    I’m thinking along the lines of some thing that people can have a go at again and again.

    We are doing fancy dress comp and going around with donation buckets all night but if we had some type of extra game or collection it could bring in alot more.

    Normal Halloween games are not practical in a pub environment. Bobbing for apples + copious amounts of alcohol is a massive NO NO!!

    Say you're a member of Sinn Fein and people will just give you money while begging you not to harm them.

    do a kind of racenight...
    instead of dvds, get punters to buy a place in a race. they sit on a chair at the top of the room. they have a handle of a brush with string attached to the handle in their hands with the string going out behind them between their legs. at the other end of the string, have a wooden cut out of a horse(fairly heavy).
    the punters have to roll up the string in with the brush. whoever wins gets a prize.

    We actually did this a few months ago and It really was massive success,
    But its a bit soon to do it again.

    Im thinking along the lines of something quick, people pay a couple of euro to have a go, like a lucky dip type thing. It keeps the money rolling in all night.


    Thanks a million for the suggestion.

    Obvious play on the raffle idea is that every ticket wins a prize (some of which most of which are cheap crappy things like a used fork).

    Sell renewable stuff:
    Hugs 10c
    Jokes 50c
    Limericks 1€

    and so on ...

    Everything I don't like is either woke or fascist - possibly both - pick one.

    Just got a great Idea off a web-site. A Mystery Masked Intruder Game.

    For 30mins of the night, a local person, that is well known to everyone in the village will appear in a full face rubber mask.
    (Prob would only work in a village, where everyone knows everyone)

    The Masked Intruder will be completely covered. Face, Hands, Hair ETC.. they will wonder around amoung the locals for the 30 mins to an hour.

    In this time we collect Guesses at who the masked intruder is. €2 a guess. we add the exact time to each guess taken. At the end of the guess time the masked man will reveal themselves, and the person who had guessed the identity of the masked man earliest will win a cash prize.

    Even if the masked person is guessed right away or many times by several people we will continue to take guesses, so by taking times of each guess we will give the prize to the very 1st to guess correctly.

    if no winner we ill randomly choose a winner from the people to gusses.

    If everyone knows everyone couldn't they just look around and see who's missing, making it not so much of a guess who's behind the mask as a statement of fact.

    Seriously OP, this is the wrong forum for constructive, useful or even logical ideas. It's AH for christ's sake.

    Guess the nob.

    You can cut holes in a sheet of plywood have a selection of men put their members through them and have the entrants guess which one belongs to the person who took their virginity - this could have some very helpful outcomes.


    Yours etc,

    Wouldn't that be a sponsored run then? And I don't think it would work too well in a pub.
